The cathedral is magnificent. It is the largest and most important church in Prague. It is also the place where the royal family was crowned and died. The windows of the church are very beautiful, but from the style of the painting, the feeling is not the same period. Because church construction continued for more than 800 years. In the corner of the church, we see workers doing maintenance, which has been uninterrupted, so that the church can be so well preserved. Inside the temple, St. John's tomb was built in 1930 by Baroque architect Erashi using 20 tons of silver and decorated with numerous extremely complex relief woodcarvings. The Huagai has four little angels pulling it. Under the statue of St. John's standing coffin, it is said that his holy bones have not yet decayed. Below is the statue of the goddess, there are many small sculptures, all decorated with pure silver, very gorgeous.

    The church is very large in scale, and it looks majestic in the distance. It stands in the middle of the old town square. In the evening, I went in and strolled around. There were not many tourists, but I looked for this gate for a long time behind a restaurant.

    Before entering, we were attracted by the golden windows, clocks and minarets in front of the church. The elegant and sterling silver tomb of St. John Nepomuk is said to have used 20 tons of silver, and the tomb, which is all sculpted, is more like a craft, and it is said that his sacred bones have not yet decayed. The large stained glass windows on the west gate windows are also from the master's hand, which is an art best. The gold-lit Gothic Golden Pagoda sacramental altar, the furnishings above, are all historical art boutiques. Carefully observe, there are many exquisite carvings in the church, whether it is stone carvings, wood carvings, or even gold and silver carvings, which are simply full of the whole church, and even the gold ornaments on the outdoor statues are still shining gold.

    Saint Vitte Cathedral, one of the most beautiful Gothic cathedrals in Europe, has a history of thousands of years. It is the largest cathedral in Czech Republic. The Gothic buildings which soar into the sky merge into the gorgeous elements of Baroque. At the first glance, it shocks from its magnificent appearance. The sunlight inside the cathedral shines through the painted glass and shines on the exquisite saints and sculptures. Rich in art, religion, architecture, history and other profound details, even from a tourist point of view, is also a pleasure to pose, of course, Prague must visit one of the attractions.

    St. Vitte Cathedral, located in Prague Castle, is the place where emperors of all dynasties held coronation ceremonies. It has the reputation of "architectural treasure" and is a wonderful example of Gothic architecture. Among them, there are many tombs of Bohemian kings. It is the largest and most important church in Czech. The first church situated at St. Witt's Church today is an early Roman circular building built in 925 by the Duke of Bohemia, Watslav I. It was expanded into a Roman Church in 1600. In 1344, Charles IV ordered the construction of a Gothic church on the basis of the original church, which was completed in the early 20th century. The church is huge and has many treasures worth visiting.

    Located inside Prague Castle, a wonderful example of Gothic architecture, with many of the tombs of Bohemian kings, the largest and most important church in the Czech Republic. The first church, located in the present-day St. Vit's Church, is an early Romanesque circular building built in 925 by Václav I, Duke of Bohemia. In 1060 it was expanded to be a Romanesque church, and in 1344 Charles IV ordered the construction of a Gothic church on the basis of the original church, which was completed in the early 20th century. The stained glass windows replaced by Alphonse Muscia's work in the 20th century.

    Although I have visited many beautiful and famous cathedrals, I still wow with amazement when I cross the presidential palace to St. Witt's Cathedral. It's so beautiful! If you buy a ticket, you can turn around several places together. You must walk around the church to see the details and the stories it conveys. It's worth seeing! ___________
